I have that shirt. If you want I can send you the info for the man who wrote the comics, I’ll just have to find it. He’s a really cool dude. Sent me a tshirt, and said if I was ever in his area to drop by.

The adorable redhead with braids top row, fourth from the right is a friend of mine. Her daughter is the child in the front row. Here is a sweet note she posted with the pic: "I was a really lucky kid. All these folks were endlessly patient and loving...[they] were kind and fun "aunts and uncles" who had a really positive impact on my life."

Was going to say that I like the hand-written sign about alcohol. If there was alcohol, it would have probably been beer in a stubby brown bottle, maybe with a first-nations village on it, with white rabbits.

Every year we hover around 86 for a couple of weeks. The months either side of that are in the high 70s. Summer in southern Manitoba is delightful!

July can be hot, humid and buggy but August is usually the best month of the year! It’s also the month when the crops begin coming off the fields. Nothing better than farm fresh Manitoba produce!

Except for the Captain Canuck shirt, that could be literally anywhere in North America in the 70s! My mom (who lived in Indiana/Kentucky at the time) had a picture with her friends that looked very similar to that…
What stands out to me is that, nowadays, there would be zero little kids in that picture. Among everyone I know who’s about my age, I know exactly one person with kids…
